Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people are talking about modern communication. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each woman ( 1 to 5) to each of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Milton:
The telecommunications revolution is taking place all over the world today. It will also greatly improve the living standards of the people in the developing countries. With modem communication, these places are rapidly acquiring up-to-date telecommunications that will let them promote both internal and foreign investment. On one hand, this will provide numerous job opportunities for them. On the other hand, with the convenience of communication, people can easily contact the outside world. By means of the internet, people can get to know everything that is happening in every comer of the world.
Lucy:
I quite agree. It is also the case in the cities. Many urban centers and industrial zones are stepping directly into the information age. These places afterwards become information centers and manufacturing centers. Computer terminals in public buildings and subway stations are set up with which people can get any information ranging from traffic service to weather forecast by only touching a bottom. People can. work at home instead of going to the office every day.
John Axtel:
As to me, there are still many challenges confronting us as we move closer to the reality of the information superhighway. First of all, large sums of money must be pumped into this project, which is a headache for many developing countries. Next, in order for it to be of’ value to most people, individuals need to become informed about what is possible and how being connected will be of benefit.
Campbell:
Modern telecommunications make our lives easier. For instance, telephone makes it possible for us to reach anyone in any place at any time. What’s more, it is fast and direct. Imagine what a long process it is for writing a letter! You have to sit down and write it out or type it out. Then you have to find a stamp, and then walk to the post - office and mail it. If you want information, it’s often possible to get it instantly by telephone, whereas a letter always take several days. I think another advantage of the telephone is that it’s personal.
Steve:
Considering telephone, there are obviously some disadvantages that you cannot ignore. If you have a telephone at home, it often rings at an inconvenient time when you are sitting in your bath or when you are deep in sleep. And if you have a mobile, anyone can find you at any time in any place. In this sense, you have no privacy to yourself.
Now match each of the people ( 1 to 5 ) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] There are many advantages with telephones.
[B] People in cities have an easier access to information.
[C] People in remote areas can also benefit from the telecommunications revolution.
[D] Students studying modern electronics are facing a better prospect of employment.
[E] Telephone can be annoying sometimes.
[F] There are some problems lying ahead for the development of information age.
[G] All the people welcome the arrival of the information age.
